Motor City Sound Machine
Introducing the SP-404MKII KDJ Records Limited Edition
KDJ Records and Roland have teamed up with an electrifying limited-edition release of the iconic SP-404MKII sampler. This unique collaboration celebrates the continuing legacy of Kenny Dixon Jr., aka Moodymann, the Detroit music maverick whose influence spans three decades of trailblazing music released on his KDJ Records imprint. The SP-404MKII KDJ Records Limited Edition brings together one of the world’s most coveted samplers with brand-new music and exclusive sound content straight from the label. Limited to just 600 units worldwide, this collectible is essential for fans of underground Detroit music.
A Tribute! 30 Years of KDJ Records
Founded in 1994, KDJ Records is a sonic testament to Kenny's enigmatic musical vision, collaborative spirit, and deep-rooted love for Detroit. Blending soulful electronic sounds with Motor City swagger for 50-plus releases, KDJ’s steady stream of groundbreaking Moodymann albums, 12-inches, and limited-edition pressings are a surefire bet to fly off the shelves onto sound systems across Detroit and the world. His creative community—including legends like the late great Amp Fiddler, Juan Atkins, “Mad” Mike Banks, and label mates Andrés, Rick Wilhite, and Theo Parrish—provides much of the inspiration behind the releases of KDJ and sister label Mahogani Music.
